Marc Madiot (born 16 April 1959) is a French former professional road racing cyclist and double winner of Paris–Roubaix. He also competed in the individual road race event at the 1980 Summer Olympics.[2] Retired from racing in 1994, he is now best known as the directeur sportif of Groupama–FDJ, a UCI WorldTeam.[3] He is also known as the president of the French Ligue National de Cyclisme (LNC).[4] In 1987, he made disparaging remarks about the sport of women's cycling, calling it ugly and unesthetic.[5]
In 2008, he was made a knight of the French Legion of Honor. It was presented by president Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysée palace in Paris.[6]
He is the older brother of fellow retired racing cyclist and French national road racing champion Yvon Madiot.[7]
